| Seriously if more American voters actually were as critical of their "own guy" as they are of the "other guy" we might actually see some real change and lots of hope. Not happening enough to affect change imo. |

Except Make it big because YOU are NOT living in an alternate world where THE following events DIDN'T happen! THEY DID!!! 1.) Dot.com bust cost $5 trillion in lost market value.. this means every year for 30 years now starting in 2000 the federal revenue is less then $166 billion written off against income taxes??? Was that Bush's fault? How many people LOST jobs due to the bust?? According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs. The dot-com bubble: How to lose $5 trillion – Anderson Cooper 360 - CNN.com Blogs 2) Did YOU forget that 9/11 occurred and it cost $2 trillion over the next 30 years again $66 billion will NOT BE PAiD.. was that Bush's fault? Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York!! 9. Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S. The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade 3) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history! The worst Katrina?? made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged. Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding. Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobs were lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed. Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000 were killed and more are missing. The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting. 400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita 145,000 jobs in NYC alone due to 9/11 300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts. Almost 1 million jobs alone from those 3 events AND Obama cries about Tropical storm Isaac????? DO YOU understand NONE of that was Bush's fault! $266 billion a year in LOST federal revenue! DO YOU understand and NOT one dollar the fault of Bush! |

| So I guess I have to put the FACTS that the $8 trillion in losses from the dot.com bust, 9/11 and worst hurricane SEASONS in history in BIGGER fonts?? Isn't there ANYONE that can refute the FACTS that IN spite of the above LOSSES that cost the Federal government $266 billion a year in tax REVENUE AND under Bush, Total people employed when Bush took office 2001 - There were 131,826,000! Total people employed when Bush Left office 2008 - There were 136,790,000! Almost 5 million more then when he started! GDP when Bush took office 2001 $12.355,271,000,000 GDP when Bush left office 2008 $14,359,490,000,000 A 16% increase in GDP or $2,004.22 billion! USDA ERS - International Macroeconomic Data Set |

| we all know how long you assholes blame things on past presidents. stop pretending you dont do it. Its fine to blame who really did something because they deseerve the blame. Bush crashed the world economy and lied us into war and then put the cost of those wars on the credit card. That is his legacy If George Bush, dumb as he is, could crash the whole world economy, in two years, then Barrack Obama, smart as he is, should have been able to fix it in four years. Right? BTW, the wars are still on the credit card, and Obama is still lying about the wars. The banks are still too big to fail (even bigger), and the economy is bouncing along the bottom. Now, that is a legacy, and you want to reelect the ass. |

| Because, compared to Obama, he was actually not our worst President as far as policy and said policies' negative impact on the future of the country goes

| Because the hard core libtards Obama supporters refuse to allow Obama to accept ANY responsibility for anything negative, and insist on blaming Bush so as not to sully the good name Obama. |
| ||||
| That's what we keep saying to you, lefty. The ONLY answer you leftists have to anything is "BLAME BUSH."
